  Where do I even begin ? Walking into GK Academy was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. When I first enrolled, I hoped I would leave with the education and confidence to become a licensed nail technician. What I didn’t expect was to leave with lifelong friendships, incredible mentors, unforgettable memories, and people who truly believed in me. From day one, every instructor and staff member invested in my success. They didn’t just teach me how to perform services—they taught me professionalism, patience, confidence, customer service, and what it truly means to care for your clients. One of the greatest gifts GK Academy gave me wasn’t just an education it was the people. I met classmates who became family. We laughed together, studied together, encouraged one another, and celebrated every milestone. Those friendships will stay with me long after graduation. As I prepare for State Board and begin my career, I know I will carry a piece of GK Academy with me into every service I perform. Every pedicure, every manicure, every acrylic set, every client interaction, and every milestone I reach will be built on the foundation I received here. If you’re considering attending beauty school, I wholeheartedly recommend GK Academy. Come ready to learn, work hard, ask questions, practice every chance you get, and embrace every moment. The months go by much faster than you think, and before you know it, you’ll be walking across the finish line too. Thank you, GK Academy, for changing my life. Thank you for believing in me, investing in me, and helping me become the nail technician and the woman I continue to grow into. This chapter may be ending, but I’ll forever be proud to call myself a GK Academy graduate. With endless gratitude, Shakevia Phinazee 🤍💅🌹

  I am a student here and I absolutely love how accommodating and supportive all the staff is. Ms. Claudia teaches the night class and she’s always working to get us a variety of experience and trying out new products, demos, anything she can to give us real world experience.

  The teachers are great, but the people who run the school aren’t. They blatantly lied to all the students, saying they wouldn’t be doing construction during school hours. Every day for the last month I walk into a safety hazard. I bring models in, and they have to breathe in saw dust and paint fumes. Last week I walked into the break room and stepped on a nail that was sticking out of a piece of plywood. It’s not okay. I wouldn’t recommend this school to anyone.

  I absolutely LOVE GK Academy!! I have been coming for almost two years for my hair, facials, and nails and always get excellent treatment for a fraction of the price. The students are great and the management top notch. Great place and very friendly and accommodating staff.

  Had an amazing experience at this school. The education was exceptional and the staff is so wonderful. Would highly recommend this school for anyone interested in a career in the cosmetology or esthetician industry.
